It?s been so nice having my family with me this week! We?ve visited the beach several times to watch the sunset, and went on a kayak trip through mangrove tunnels. We work on the house in the mornings and go play in the afternoon and evenings, it?s lovely. We?ve acclimated to the climate here, it?s very warm and we get summer rains, but I love how different it is and I?m soaking it all in!
We?ve made a lot of progress on the house renovations. The hall bathroom should be complete in about a week. We had to hire a specialist to replace a well pump since our landscaping is tied to well water although the house uses city water. I?ve set up a relaxing little office space for myself, I?ll share that later this week. And in between I?ve been working on some new art prints inspired by the amazing botanicals here in Florida. Favorite links from the week:

Pretty and fun: the pink tile in this girls bathroom.
